We needed a CRM, found CiviCRM and fell in love with it :). We're starting with 4.3, we hope we can be of some help for future updates.

Civi has been an amazing tool for CMJ (and for other organizations I work with) to keep our most important data all in one place in a user friendly way.

CiviCRM has one of the best open source communities out there. It's always a blessing when I get the opportunity to do my next project in CiviCRM.

I've always been passionate about what non-profits and advocacy groups can achieve using technology. For me, CiviCRM shows an essential example of how non-profit and technology worlds can come together to provide real change - working as community, creating value for yourself, but also for others in non-profit sector.

CiviCRM provides a vital tool whereby nonprofits and other social projects can implement strong contact-relationship management capabilities without high monthly fees. It also provides the integration and customization capabilities necessary to make such software useful in the complex, lived reality of doing social engagement work. Plus it continues to build the open source toolset made available to the Commons and grow the common good.

City Bible Forum

City Bible Forum is an Australian not-for-profit Christian organisation. We need to communicate effectively with our constituents, and CiviCRM gives us a comprehensive set of tools for managing relationships. Interestingly, we often find that new features are being added just as our need for those features is becoming apparent. It's the right fit for us.

I'm quite impressed with the responsiveness of the CiviCRM community, both from the core developers and many experienced users who have quickly provided answers and ideas in areas where I just needed that extra insight, or where we needed to do something totally new. After several years working with open source software, I'm finding the CiviCRM community to be the most responsive and helpful I've seen.

We make CiviCRM one of our primary offerings because it just provides so much right out of the box that our clients need, without a line of custom code. And when we need to extend it for the clients' unique needs, the APIs and programming hooks let us add in features that would be impossible in some other systems. This means we can provide great value to our clients with quick turnaround times and reasonable budgets, which is great for our clients and for us.

We are currently migrating to civiCRM. We will be using civiCRM for back office to record contributions, manage donor communication and report on contributions received.

CiviCRM is perfect for us because it is based on contributions

The Monthly Magazine

Managing Magazine Subscriptions Using CiviMember
The Monthly Magazine
Melbourne
Australia
See map: Google Maps
Features Deployed:
  • Association Member Management
  • e-Communications
  • Reporting
The Promise:

The Monthly Magazine wanted to replace it's existing subscription management system with one that could be integrated with their drupal website.

The Challenge:

The biggest challenges were

- rethinking how to deal with a system that didn't track physical issues of the magazine.

- gift subscriptions. At the time when the Monthly looked at CiviCRM there was no obvious way to manage Gift Subscriptions. The Monthly discussed the best approach to take with the Core Team and agreed to sponsor the functionality for a different person to pay for a subscription into Core for back office transactions. The approach for front end was introduced via a custom module

The CiviCRM Solution:

Its open source and shares an incredible community of users who have a mutual interest in innovation and remaining relevant.
 
Its DNA incorporates great campaigning strategy from respected electioneers and fundraisers and it has proven ability to run big supporter databases and to generate revenue from memberships (or subscriptions in the case of a magazine as we will show).
 
CiviCRM also wins on setup cost.
 
Many proprietary rivals consider modules such as Mail, Reports and Membership as optional extras but CiviCRM has them built in.
 
Other CRMs typically need you to develop your website to fit their system (hard work), whereas, CiviCRM gives you a head start because its pages are automatically integrated in Drupal (easy!).

Key Functionality:

The Monthly repurposed CiviMember for Subscription Management

Modifications and Modules:

Both The Monthly and Fuzion were strongly committed to contributing changes back to Core so the back end Gift Subscription Functionality along with minor fixes and tweaks were submitted to Core. However, the front end gift memberships are managed through custom code as described here

Benefits To The CiviCRM Community:

**Added April 2013**
John Derry did a presentation at CiviCon San Fransisco 2013 about this project. You can read more and see his slides here - http://sf2013.civicrm.org/civicrm-print-media
